Organic
I am dedicated to eating
organic whenever possible. I only purchase organic produce, and make an
effort to eat in organic restaurants. I even search them out when I am
on vacation. I know that my choice to eat organic positively impacts
the planet and it's my way of making a difference. I appreciate Roots'
produce department—it is the largest produce selection in the
Washington DC/Baltimore area that is 100% organic. For me, Roots is
one–stop shopping because I can purchase organic meat and dairy. I
choose organic because it not only affects the planet, but also my
health.
Healthy
I am committed to feeding
myself and my family the healthiest food possible. I'm not exclusively
vegetarian, but I am aware of the nutritional value of my food and make
an effort to avoid additives and pesticides. I know that when I shop at
Roots, that the products have been selected with the highest regard for
my health. I particularly appreciate the organic meat and dairy
products.
Vegetarian
I choose to eat a vegetarian diet. My diet consists of not eating any
animal products such as red meat, poultry, fish and shellfish. I will
however eat dairy products and eggs. At Roots, I find an extensive
selection of products to support my diet; at least 90% of the store is
vegetarian!
Vegan
My diet is strictly vegan. I do not eat animal products of any type
including dairy products, honey, animal gelatin, and all other foods of
animal origin. My diet takes the vegetarian approach one step further
by applying an ethical belief regarding the treatment of animals. Not
only do I avoid animal products in my food, I also avoid the use of
leather, wool, fur, and silk in clothing, and upholstery. Having access
to Roots, Great Sage, and Nest, I am able
to eat well and live well without compromising my philosophy.
Wheat/Gluten-Free
I am on a diet that restricts
the consumption of gluten. Gluten is the protein found in wheat, rye,
barley, and oats. I suffer from a gluten intolerance disorder called
celiac disease and I experience intestinal discomfort when ingesting
products containing gluten. I have never had so many products to choose
from; Roots has made my life so much easier!
My child is autistic and his pediatrician suggested a gluten-free diet.
I was overwhelmed by the radical change that my family would have to
make. Then, I discovered the extensive gluten–free section at Roots.
Now I'm able to make meals that are appropriate for my son and that the
whole family can enjoy.
Raw & Living Foods
I choose to eat only raw
foods. My diet consists of organic fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds,
oils, and sprouted grains. I believe that this diet is the best for
health and longevity. Uncooked foods (not heated above 116
degrees) have a higher nutrient value and contain enzymes which are
vital to the body for the digestion and absorption of food. Cooking
food reduces some vitamin and mineral availability; destroys some
enzymes, interferes with digestion; and may weaken the power of
antioxidants and the immune system. At Roots I can find the largest
selection of organic fruits, vegetables, and nuts, not to mention
packaged cereals, crackers, and sweets.
Gourmet
I am passionate about food. I
search high and low for interesting, beautiful food. I love to
entertain and feed my friends. I prefer to shop in specialty stores so
I can find the most unique, high-quality products. It's so great to
have access to European foods right here in my own backyard. I
appreciate that not only are they gourmet, but they are natural.
